Heaton's

I decided to treat myself to a nice meal, beachside where I could watch the blood moon eclipse. I wanted the evening to be special, and Heaton’s at the Kimpton Hotel in Vero Beach did not disappoint! Taylor, my server, was so very friendly, attentive, personable, and right on time with my food and drinks. The manager, Serge Tancrede delivered the main course and greeted me with the warmest smile, asking me more than once how everything was. I felt so pampered! The food was amazing! I had the crab stuffed flounder with garlic mashed potatoes, fresh broccoli, and lemon, and a slice of key lime pie for desert. My drink was a Lemonchelo, at Serge’s suggestion, which complimented the key lime pie perfectly. This restaurant is advertised as beachside and casual, but the food and service were several steps above what I expected. The area surrounding the pool is like a relaxing garden, and you are given the option to dine poolside if you wish. At night it all lights up, and the sound of the ocean creates a luxurious vacation atmosphere. I am so glad I found Heaton’s! I’ll definitely be back, with my out of town friends!

Went there for a happy hour in Jan and it was great, late afternoon during the week no one there, great service with some nice items on menu priced reasonably....so went on a sat afternoon mid day in March for lunch out of the sun. And I stayed out of the sun for two hours. The overwhelmed bar tenders took a long time to serve me and did not get my lunch for almost an hour. But I have to give them credit since I noticed they called and got help and apologized to every patron and comped some drinks even mine. The food was great and so was the staff so I guess I will return but definetly not on Sat!
